Chinese and Indonesian plastic bottles have been found washed up on
Reunion island after wreckage from what could be the missing MH370
plane.
The discovery comes as experts say it is "increasingly likely" wreckage likely to be from a Boeing 777 jet is from the doomed Malaysian Airlines flight.
The
containers were a Chinese water bottle and Indonesian cleaning product.
There were 153 Chinese passengers on board flight MH370.
The investigation into flight MH370 will move to France as suspected debris from the doomed plane is transported from the Indian Ocean island of Reunion.
Malaysia's prime minister Najib Razak has said that the two-metre
long debris is likely to be from a Boeing 777 craft - the same model as
the missing Malaysia Airlines flight.
The disappearance of the flight has been officially declared an accident after it went missing in March 2014.
All of the 239 passengers and crew on board are presumed dead.
After
confirming that the debris was to be taken to France for further
investigation, Mr Razak added: "As soon as we have more information or
any verification we will make it public.
"I promise the families of those lost that whatever happens, we will not give up."
The
plane was flying from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to Beijing, China, when
it is thought to have come down in the Indian Ocean on March 8 last
year.
Speaking to the BBC, oceanographer David Griffin from Australia's
national science agency said the location of where the debris was found
is "consistent with where we think debris might have turned up".
Among the debris, a suitcase was found by workers on a Reunion beach.
Relatives
of those who on board flight MH370 are said to be planning a lawsuit
against Malaysia Airlines if a piece of debris is confirmed to be from
the missing aircraft.
